alanmckenzie wrote:Hey. All look great. Really impresssed with your style and overall look. Any chance of a quick explaination of how you achieve the dust effects, particularly round the feet of your terminators and chaplains? It's something I'd like to try on my next project.

Many thanks

absolutely!!!! thanks for aking and im glad you like them. Well the process is really quick and easy! i use weathering powder from vallejo, burnt umber is the one i use. if you want to put it on thick its best to dip the brush in the pigment then dip it in rubbing alcohol. but for a thin layer i just brush dry pigment on. then i use a q-tip and dip it in rubbing alcohol to clean off areas where the yellow should show i hope this helps!

thanks man im glad you like it! are you in south florida or north can say ive heard of your city..

Really nice models, the weathering gives them a good feel. I've been seeing alot of Imperial Fists lately...

Thats alot of yellow

Thank goodness GW finally has a yellow worth using.

Great work so far. How long has it taken you to get to this point? I'm working on the third Company and have been for about ten months longer than I've been on Dakka here and I'm still not finished. I have 3 bikes to finish, two tac squads a dev. squad and 4 Rhino's.

I must admit I did stop for 8 months and build a 2500pt 'Nid army, with enough models to get it up over 3000 still unfinished.

I must say I like that you have the Templar shields, it adds some flavor to the unit but it shows honor to the successor chapter, perhaps if those marines had been in the legion at the second founding they would have gone off into that grand army of Dorn's children so righteous is their fury toward the Xeno's, the mutant and above all the Heretic. ANd like everyone else has mentioned great photowork and skill with that pic of Lysander, the facial work you did on him is superb.

Im sooooo sorry for the late replies .....but will start up this log shortly as time progresses and will keep and extra eye open since i never get the notifications!

YES thank the emperor! lol although i cant say im a huge fan of citadel in general cheap paints at too high the cost.....and as for modeling? i started in 9th grade so wasnt big in painting but that was 5 years ago...but if you mean sitting down and painting i started almost a year ago....i would do test models here and there but nothing excessive and most of those models have been stripped lmao and ive also notice people like my photos a lot but i never realized they looked so much better haha and cheers i was really proud of lysander hopefully when its time to paint the finecast model i will do it justice as well haha

Why thank you kind sir!

Always had a soft spot for imperial fists (god damn it games workshop brainwashing making 13 year old me start ultra smurfs). I love the weathered and rugged look. Makes them look like they have actually left there star system (which cant firmly be said for there blue brothers).

These models are awesome looks like they have been to hell and back.

BETTER PICTURES....

Its good to see battle damage on your troops and vehicles, nothing worse than when tanks and armour look like they have never been used.
Currently doing a diorama between Khorne Bezerkers and Space Wolves with 15 models in total, and would like to add battle damage to them, any simple but effective pointers?

The method i use is to take a sponge and cut off a small bit off. I then dip this in runefang steel...i then make sure to have only a little bit, i use a napkin to remove excess......Then dab it on, most the time it is trial and error. If you like i can post a picture of the sponge i use, its the sponge usually used for heavy grime, really hope this helps! cheers!

If its not too much trouble then that would be really appreciated thanks!

These are legitimately beautiful

Wow those terrmies are awesome. I wish i had the Concentration and skill to sit down and create something like that.

That is a beautiful army and you should be very proud of it. Amazing work!

Even if it hurts to say that as a long time Iron Warriors player!

thanks for the kind words!, and in my eyes theyre only rivals because of there skills, both being know for their siege specialties

I love your captain and all your marines, particularly the weathering and attention to detail on their faces.

They look like they're probably no strangers to the imperial fists' old standby, the pain glove

These models are superb. Your painting style is simple and effective and your models will look great on the battlefield.

As a first time painter, this is probably one of the harder color schemes and you are nailing it! Well done.

Lysander and Imperial Fists have always been some of my favorite models/chapters. You are doing them justice for sure!
